Ah, and the bitter tears, not let go of - erode like cancer. Better to follow through and finish the work, the cleansing. Wow, tears of ammonia, that'll get it done!

Aye, there's the fine bones I love.Tears of ammonia! POW! Fresh take on the subject, no mincing... liked that very much! So much there... my daughter doesn't understand happy tears yet. I wonder when children grasp the concept of tears of joy? My poor husband has two "girls" who cry at the drop of a hat. Hope you are well. I have a treasured 1/2 hr to call my own and I am glad I spent some of it with you. hugs, Cyndi
